TERMS OF REFERENCE
BACKGROUND/RATIONALE:
One of the Aquino Administration’s core thrusts is a focus on good governance,
transparency, and accountability as well as improved public services. Among the various
transparency and governance initiatives is the Nationwide Streamlining of BPLS Project with
the Dept. of Interior and Local Government (DILG) and the Department of Trade and
Industry (DTI) as lead implementing agencies. As of 20 November 2014, a total of 1,256
LGUs are reported to have completed streamlining their BPLS. There are 146 additional
LGUs currently undergoing the streamlining process.
For its part, the National Competitiveness Council (NCC) is conducting annually on BPLS
Customer Experience Survey which aims to determine the satisfaction level and assess
performance of the different LGUs nationwide in terms of business registration particularly
on the renewal process of Mayor’s Permit from the viewpoint of the business communities.
This survey will form part of NCC’s Monitoring and Evaluation Projects that will track the
quality of government services.
It is for this purpose that this project is being proposed in order to assess the implementation
of the Nationwide BPLS Streamlining Program.
PROJECT OBJECTIVES:

Streamlining Program and measures satisfaction level of businessmen who experienced the
services and programs of their respective LGUs and to improve future action steps for a more
business-friendly process of BPLS.
